VERDICT: Gale Mahler registered a sixth win on the bounce when stepped up to Listed company at the Galway Festival and the five-year-old has been found an excellent opportunity to continue her splendid run of form. Valgrand finished fourth in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree before a pair of hurdling victories in May. He may prove to be the most obvious threat on his return from a break, although useful Flat performer Brave Knight has taken well to hurdling and is one to keep on the right side of.
